One-time setup costs are modest (~$190k) driven by equipment, initial research setup and a small HVAC upgrade; recurring annual costs (~$216k/year) are dominated by an ongoing R&D program, contingency reserves, and consumables/operational support.

Confidence Notes
Reasonable granularity from analyst notes (many line-item ranges) but substantial range uncertainty on R&D ambition, incident frequencies, legal exposure and disposal methods leads to medium confidence in numeric estimates.
